Councilman Municipal Socialist Group, David Romera has highlighted the need for the regional government, through the Ministry of Development, Public Works and Planning, "definitely reconverted" fast track that runs between the towns of Lorca and Eagles on a highway, "with all the features that have this type of high capacity roads, because the current situation does not guarantee full security of the thousands of drivers and users who travel daily on it."

In the last two weeks, there have been several fatal accidents and high gravity that show "clear deficiencies in the fast lane Lorca-Eagles."

In all accidents that have recently registered, the main cause is the output of the road and overturning vehicles "since there are long stretches along 35 kilometers these two locations where the road is completely without barriers separate quitamiedos despite the existence of large radius curves and slope, zigzagging sections and precipices constitute a serious danger if out of a vehicle ".

Despite recent jobs executed, the reconversion of the fast track highway Lorca-Eagles "is not finished despite the high daily traffic that supports, estimated at almost 15,000 vehicles, which is increased significantly in summer".

The Socialist councilor said that "although this route does not have the technical consideration of highway, drivers and users who use it, yes give such consideration", which "constitutes a problem."

Romera explained that "this high capacity infrastructure lacks safety net around its path to prevent animal access to the road", while very convenient "that barriers guardrail art installed with protections SPM in long stretches where they do not exist to prevent the outputs of the vehicles of the road in case of distraction or accident. "

He considered implemented as passive safety system "rumble strips on road markings delineating walkway berm to create an effect of alarm and alert the driver if he suffers drowsiness."

In addition, recently, at the request of the Socialist Municipal Group, the Highways Agency has undertaken the repair of light limit signs installed speed on the descent crossing the expressway Lorca-Eagles with Beacon Park Mall and road La Almenara, which have been damaged many months to improve road safety in the area.
